Gen.G has defeated T1 to secure a second consecutive MSI title. Previously, only T1 and RNG had managed to win MSI twice in a row, but Gen.G has now added its name to that list. Furthermore, Gen.G achieved a 'perfect victory'—finishing the tournament without dropping into the losers' bracket—just as the team did last year. It is worth looking forward to their performance in remaining international tournaments such as the Esports World Cup and Worlds.

The standout performer of the MSI final was Gen.G's mid-laner, 'Chovy' Jeong Ji-hoon. In the decisive fifth set of a 2-2 series, he locked in 'Aurora'. Utilizing his signature map control, he orchestrated a high-difficulty four-man dive that completely dismantled T1's bottom lane. His ability to zone out opponents during team fights was masterful. Chovy was named the MSI MVP, proving through his performance exactly why he remains at the peak of the mid-lane role.
